I have just received a call from a friend who works for DC Marketing. Take this with a grain of salt, as he admitted that the rumours he hears early are not always accurate, but the main villain in the next Batman movie is the Reaper. Apparently, this is the dark and not-so-cartoony villian that Chris Nolan really likes. While I don’t like to believe everything I hear, this is the same guy who told me about Matthew Bomer being a contender for Superman long before I read it anywhere online.

While this should be taken with a grain of salt for now, in the comics, Judson Caspian was The Reaper and his daugther’s name was Rachel. Katie Holmes was recently announced as playing Rachel in the film, which could be the same character. Cillian Murphy is playing “a” villain in the film, but he would be too young to be Holmes’ father.
